"Don and his Sure Dry team were incredible. I hired them to waterproof my basement after years of dealing with annoying water. They were professional, efficient, timely, and most importantly very knowledgeable at what they do. The work was hard and messy, yet they left my basement in better condition than they found it. Even after discovering a mold issue. Within 14 days of contacting Sure Dry for a free quote, I had a fully waterproofed basement at a very good price. I cannot say enough good things about Don and his company. They were the best company I have ever hired to work on my home. I will recommend them at every opportunity I have."
"Brian did an excellent inspection over the entire house. Explained everything in detail of what the cause was of the leaky basement and recomended solutions. He was very professional and took his time explaining and answering my questions. Donovan, Josh and Xander performed an excellent job of waterproofing the basement. Made sure evrything was covered . Great clean up too ! I highly recomend Foundation Recovery Systems ! Thank you !"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Ideal humidity conditions generally range from 30% to 50%, with 45% considered optimal humidity for most homes. If your humidity levels drop below that range, you can turn your dehumidifier off. Additionally, suppose the temperature where the dehumidifier is installed falls below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. In that case, it's best to turn it off and unplug it since cooler temperatures can cause the unit's coils to freeze.
The most cost-effective foundation repair is using masonry patches and sealants to seal foundation cracks and offer some support to prevent further damage. These methods are used to fix minor foundation cracks quickly. However, they’re not suitable as a long-term solution, and they only offer minimal stability. On average, masonry patches and sealants cost $500, but a sealant like an epoxy crack injection can total over $2,000. If you’re handy and only looking for a temporary solution until you contact a local foundation repair contractor for a more permanent one, you can save hundreds by DIYing this repair.
While "dry" mode on your AC can help reduce humidity levels to some extent, it may not be as effective as a dedicated dehumidifier, especially in areas with extremely high humidity or larger spaces. Dehumidifiers are specifically designed to remove moisture from the air more efficiently, making them a better choice for tackling persistent humidity issues.
As the first layer of water protection for your roof deck and the building materials below, underlayment is designed to prevent water damage, so it’s okay if it gets wet. However, you shouldn’t rely solely on underlayment for protection. If rain interrupts your roof project and you have all of the underlayment down, you’ll likely be fine, but you should install shingles over that layer as soon as possible, as long-term exposure can lead to water damage.
Preventing water accumulation involves regular inspections, maintaining effective drainage systems, ensuring proper roof maintenance, and taking preventive measures against heavy rainfall or floods.
